OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. -- A Florida passenger is lucky to be alive after being ejected from the car that crashed into a toll booth in Osceola County.

Surveillance video shows a speeding car slamming into a barrier in front of a toll lane on the Florida Turnpike earlier this month. 

The car later catches fire and a few seconds pass by before anyone notices the ejected passenger.

The Florida Highway Patrol says all five people inside the car were treated and released from the hospital. 

According to the trooper who wrote the incident report, the driver of the car appeared to be fatigued.
